“Such an amazing restaurant, really tasty food and amazing service. Our server Eddie gave us 5 star service , was very kind , and always made sure we were taken care of. The environment was very nice and elegant will definitely come in again!“

“This place was on my list to try, and it did not disappoint. I wish I had come here sooner! The birrieria here is delicious, full of flavor, and perfectly seasoned. The drinks are also great here. This is now my go-to spot for birrieria. The gentleman who served us was funny, friendly, and charismatic. I had a great first-time experience here.“

“My wife and I stopped in on a Saturday night about 30min before closing time.I saw the reviews and thought.. let’s give it a try.Concerned that since they’re about to close, the food would be a bit old per se.But no, the food was fresh and delicious. Service was great.We ordered the Quesabirria tacos… they were so so good, yummy!!!We also ordered the Carne asada fries… wow!!! Delicious.!!!Oh the Agua frescas were really good too!As a Veteran, I appreciated the military discount as well ??.We will definitely be returning!All in all, we really enjoyed this place.“

“Delicious Birria de Chivo“

“I cannot think of a better Mexican restaurant in Riverside. Had dinner there yesterday, and the food was great. The service was even better, we had two waiters and they were both amazing!! And, boy oh boy, is their salsa good!!!

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible from the parking lot and back.“

“Dos Hermanas is the best authentic Mexican Restaurant in Riverside. Everything is excellent. Chili rellenos, enchiladas, tamales, tacos. Taco specials on Tuesdays AND Thursdays- Thursdays Carne Asada street tacos for $1.50 are THE BEST. Plenty of comfortable booth seating and really helpful staff. Do yourself a favor and GO!“

“The food is very good here. It's family-owned. I have been going here since I moved to Riverside. The owners who take the order always calls me by my name and remember my regular order. I bumped into the owner out at the grocery store multiple time and always wave and says hi. Very friendly and family oriented restaurant.“

“me and my family had just happened to drive by saw the name of the place read the reviews and decided to stop by little did we know that this place would blow our minds! the food here is AMAMZING! best tasting tacos ive had by far hands down! the service was very friendly and they made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely coming back ?“

“Toda la comida muy buena“

“Great family place to eat. I still have one of their 10 year anniversary pint glasses. Great food too.“

“I definitely recommend this place , service is good super friendly ,large coipek are sweet and attend you on time , the food BOMB ? the quesabirrias are one of my favorites, menudo is good and the tacos are really good as well . This is one of the tops spots to come to after work or before “

“You know it's bad when a burrito bowl (they're not even giving you a tortilla) is over thirteen bucks with tax. But, as you can see by the photos, they do give you a large portion. For me it was enough for more than one meal. Still...So let's just say that all restaurants now are more expensive than they should be. My cashier was friendly and helpful, and more importantly my meal was good. Everything, chile verde, beans, and rice, were all flavorful. So why not five stars for the food? Like many Mexican restaurants, they don't trim their pork well. Almost every bite had fat in it. Which, for me at least, tends to diminish the quality of a nice meal. Which is a relatively low hurdle to clear. Especially if you're charging these prices.“

“Amazing place for delicious Mexican food, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and delicious margaritas“

“I recommend eating here casa mota the food is so good I like there food and the most I like there menudo they put a lot of meat“

“Food is always fire. Try out the carne asada fries.“

“First visit today, going back for next month's lunch with a friend. Wish we'd discovered El Patron sooner.“

“This was my first visit. The first thing i noticed was the welcoming decor. I ordered the gluten-free tortilla with vegan cheese, carne asada, spinach, and mushrooms. My husband has been several times. And enjoys each visit.Flour or gluten-free tortillas. Several types of cheese, including a vegan option. Several types of meat choices. Several vegetable choices. Several soda choices. Beers on tap. Thoughtful service.Just down the street from the Riverside Plaza. So conveniently close to shopping. AAA, the 91, and downtown.Plenty of room for large parties under covered outdoor seating.“

“Great food . Large menu. Great services authentic Mexican food“

“Wonderful food and great service!“

“Went to try their Al Pastor tacos based off yelp reviews. And I'm very picky about my Al Pastor & I gave them 5 stars, it was the best I've had in Riverside so far. DEFINITELY TRY THEM, I WILL BE BUYING THEM AGAIN & AGAIN ???“

“Excellent Food is always fresh Service is genuinely nice“

“The best sweet bread bakery in the IE. This is by far my favorite bakery in this area. I always find myself buying 20-30 dollars worth of bread each visit due to so many yummy options and just wanting to try anything new. Lol, it's so yummy! ?“

“The salsa is so good I wish they sold it by the jar. Everything that was ordered in my party turned out very good and I kept eating long after I was full. The staff was very accomodating and kind. They made sure we didn't need new drinks or chips or anything. The manager was also very nice and greeted us personally.“

“I work next door so I eat here constantly, I definitely recommend the menudo, albóndigas, caldo de res , tacos de carnitas, tacos de al pastor, enchiladas michoacanas, chilaquiles michoacanos, steak picado, tostadas de ceviche, and I can’t forget the chips and salsa.I usually order ahead and my food is ready for pick up in 15 mins.

Kid-friendliness: Family friendly, my kids love the chicken nuggets from here and the strawberry licuado.“

“Great food at great prices but they use a lot of onions so make sure you tell them no onions if you have an onion allergy and the dining room is small it was very packed which is a good sign always a good sign

Vegetarian options: I didn't see very many vegetarian options or vegan options

Kid-friendliness: I wouldn't say it was very kid friendly but I would say if you hadn't well-behaved kids then they should be all right“

“Great and speedy service! Our waitress Crystal was always on top of it and made sure we always had what we needed ! Food was yummy but the drinks were so good! We had some horchata colada , Paloma negra,kalavera, and limón con pepino margaritas! Such an amazing time!“

“everyone is so nice and food was delicious.“

“Muy buen servicio y la comida... ufff se rifan paisanos!!“

“Servers were friendly and the food is always great. Eggs Benedict is lovely and I love the strawberry cream pancakes. Only issue was that there weren't enough servers, so the wait times were kinda long. But I love the food, good quality diner fare with decent portions. I will definitely go back...often!“

“la atención es de primera la comida deliciosa ambiente familiar“

“Okay, the tacos didn't travel well, primarily due to the shells getting too wet from each others' ingredients, but the fillings were just fine. Would happily eat them on-site, next time. Where this place gets its massive props from me? The ceviche (I had the spicy version), and the amazingly great clam chowder. I mean, I know that chowder is a popular item in Baja, but now I have no reason to travel and find out why. For all I know they opened a can of clam chowder and enhanced it with their own secret blend of herbs and spices, but who cares? It was fantastic.“

“I love this place. It tastes better than all the other similar places with the same colors buildings, and this is far out on top. there taquitos are beef everywhere else I go its only chicken and every Tuesday morning I go get my Carne Asada breakfast burrito.

Parking: They have a big lot

Wheelchair accessibility: there is a parking in front of the door for disabled customers.“

“It was delicious I recommend very highly it’s cute too it has bushes cut like trains fifty style very cute“

“Delicious food ,great service !!“

“This place is a hidden gem ? honestly reminds me of tacos in Rosarito and Tijuana! Respect the culture and learn some Spanish before you eat here! Lol it’s authentic and I wouldn’t change it for anything! The lunch rush is real and I’ve never waited more than 8mins for my food no matter the line. It’s cooked to order so don’t expect to be in and out. All good things take time! ? enjoy tacos, MY FAVORITE IS SHRIMP AND FISH! but they have everything from asada to cabeza! Burritos, mulitas, tortas, tacos, caldos, quesadillas, platos, sopes, huaraches and more! Tuesday and Sunday they have fish taco specials and it’s the best deal in town!

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp close by door“

“The service was great and the server was super friendly! The food was so GOOD and we loved the family restaurant atmosphere! We highly recommend the chilaquiles con huevo and carne

Parking: Parking lot behind the building and small parking lot in front“

“Todo Delicioso en especial los chilaquiles y el caldo de Res“

“Absolutely love this place!!! Been coming here for over 25 years with my family. It's just a simple, no frill, hole in the wall place, but don't let that fool you! This family-owned restaurant is always busy and that's probably because it's no secret that they are the bomb!!!“

“Amazing Authentic MX Cuisine !! I Try To Order Something New Everytime I Come..It never goes wrong taking a rick here with a new plata im unfamiliar with..trust this kitchen !!“

“Update of yesterday's review. Maria called me back today. After following up it was detetmined an error was made in "reconciliation process". Asked me to come in to pick up $5 plus a certificate for future visit. I do appreciate the followup and phone call. Case closed. Mistakes do happen and reminded me to be more conscientious about checking bank account.“

“pasele pasele si hay los mejores estilo rosarito .......Y KE SE TEKITO ............“

“Food is great if you get there in time before they run out, love their corn beef and cabbage, and ready made raw fish..which they never have enough of. They never have panipopo when we go there…not sure if you have to order it? Also would like to see more baked taro

Parking: Street parking is usually available near the store“

“Family-run restaurant with great food made fresh! Even the fruit drinks are handmade!“

“I had not been there for a while but was craving caldo de pata not gonna say it was the best i ever had but I saw their effort to make me feel at home, they even put some music and everything and I met this guy that works at the mortuary and it was really a great experince, viva El Salvador y Rancho La Perla!“

“This is some of the finest rotisserie chicken I've ever had. The potato salad is awesome though their beans could use some work lol .I was recently introduced to this last month with a friend who had come down and would stay in the area. We ended up getting chicken there cuz they're right next to that laundromat and next thing you know we are coming back every week. We even bypassed in and out to have their chicken that particular week.It's a great price, awesome tenderness in the chicken none of it was dry, and they actually offer pita bread which was the pleasant surprise.Not too sure what was going on with the staff ...they seem to be a bit apprehensive. In our four to five visits we had someone different each and every time and I felt as if they were either trying to do us a favor or they were counting down the hours till they got off work Needless to say the food was still first rateDefinitely going back again.“
